Every product is designed and manufactured by Grupa. We are proud that each one is carefully assembled by hand, ensuring that our lamps not only emit light, but reflect the highest level of craftsmanship.

Igram

Silent by stature and nature, Igram is an interplay of ambiance and function.

The Igram wall lamp can do both at the same time. Facing the wall, the light only sketches the edges of the space it inhabits. Pointing towards the interior, it becomes even more functional, but stays discreet.

Like any other great combination, Igram lamp + table work perfectly together. The rarity of such symbiosis was not enough for us, so we decided to up our game by introducing unique pieces of handcrafted ceramic tabletops with a diamond-like surface.

Arigato

Arigato is a worker despite its elegant appearance. Its adjustability and applicability ensure a beautiful performance in various spaces and contexts. The mobility of the shade and the arms of the lamp enable the projection of the light in every direction. And with a solid base that can be rotated 360 degrees, the table version of Arigato can be moved around its axis with a gentle touch.

The collection is composed of table, floor, wall, pendant and ceiling lamps that come with a handmade steel body and an aluminium shade in matte black or white powder coating and with different possibilities throughout the collection. Pendants come with the novelty of raw finish option.

Ili Ili

Ili Ili is something of a toy for grown-ups that invites you to combine various forms and colours into your own personalised lamp.

It is a series of modular pendant lamps composed of six different handcrafted aluminium elements.

Coming in various shades of matte colours and different colours of cable, the final combination of the elements is determined by the user.

By playing with the design through online configurator, the customer builds their own lamp and creates a relationship with it even before it arrives at their home.

Baluna

Every segment of Baluna has passed through the hands of master craftsmen who have shaped and painted the tubing, manually shaped the shades and handblown the glass.

The custom designed silent dimmer enables maximum light intensity control, and the glass opal diffuser, which can rotate around its axis infinitely, achieves a highly precise control over the ambient light. All the functional parts, including the power switch, dimmer, power cord and powder coated tightening rings, have been custom designed to fit seamlessly into the form of the lamp.

Model

A unique floor lamp, free from complication, Model has a distinct ‘not yet finished’ look. Customers can choose between three different steel frames; in a black or white finish as well as eight colour options for the textile cord. The strength of light is dependent on the power of bulb.

Model comes with a preselected light bulb, which can be changed to light a space differently.

Dot

Dot is a collection of side tables in different colours and dimensions, designed to follow the style and the thought of Grupa’s lighting fixtures.

The metal understructure provides the strength and character which changes slightly depending on which side you look at it from. Whether as a standalone piece or a combination of two given dimensions of these side tables, Dot is always working for the space it is in. It is made of durable, lightweight materials so it can work between indoor or outdoor spaces.

Grupa is a design studio, however, this is only half the story. After a decade of being successful and award-winning, in 2011 they decided to tell the rest of the story by becoming the manufacturers of their own products. This makes them one of the few truly independent industrial design studios.

136 What would you say is Grupa’s design philosophy?

Light affects people in numerous ways.

We don’t just design how our lamps look and function, we also design how they feel. This is why we approach every segment of a project as a friend that keeps asking “how do you feel”? This is because by designing lighting objects, we design the mood.

How it disperses light, how it feels under the fingers, how it bends and stretches, even how it sounds – we question everything. “Taman” is an excellent word in our language that means “just right” and it is the perfect answer to all these questions.

What is minimalism to you?

Our minimalist answer would be: emphasizing the essential and reducing the irrelevant. For example, the cable has to be an essential part of our design as it is in Ili Ili and Model or it has to be cleverly hidden like in Baluna and Arigato. It is that simple and simple is our favourite challenge.

141 How did you decide to leap into the world of manufacture?

Our Ili Ili lamp is to blame. We developed the prototype and before we knew it, a big architectural bureau wanted to put it in 500 hotel rooms. That was the moment that pushed us to the other side of the design desk and into the factory. Simply because it was the only way we could deliver the lamps. We’ve learned a lot during the process, the most important thing is that this is how we wanted to make all of our future products.

What are the benefits of being designers and manufacturers at the same time?

Being able to develop a product from the ground up gives us the opportunity to design every single detail and control the process from the beginning until the moment the customer opens the package, which we design as well.

In this way every single part is made to seamlessly fit and work together.

147 Attention to detail seems to be a big thing for you.

Figura for Modus design shop 2010 Clothes hanger.

It is THE thing. It is the reason why most of our products have certain parts that had to be designed from scratch. There were no commercial dimmers that could match the Baluna design, so we had to create one.

How to hide a cable from sight on an adjustable ceiling lamp? We know now. And it doesn’t just come down to how things look, it is as important how they sound and feel. Is it important how a coffee table sounds when you put a cup on it? For us it is, this is why we spent months perfecting a sheet of metal that sounds perfect on Dot tables. What kind of finish do we need to use on an adjustable lamp so it has a perfect grip when you want to extend it? As designers we have tons of dilemmas like this. As manufacturers we are able to answer them all.

In a world of automatisation you decided to go with the handmade approach.

We do it because it gives an undeniable quality to the end product. Every single piece of any of our lamps goes through skilled hands that bend it, colour it, put it together and check it over and over again. This way the craftsmanship becomes an essential part of the product, something you can see and feel. There is another dimension as well – for example, the fact that the glass of the Baluna lamps is blown by a master glassmaker gives not just quality to it but also a story.

And the story is what makes a good product great.

151 Is this the reason why you are able to create customised versions of your products?

Exactly, we design it and manufacture it so we are able to play with it. If a client or a project has special demands regarding certain aspects of one of our products, we can modify it accordingly. This is how Ili Ili became both a table and a wall lamp in a hotel and how Baluna became a 2.5-metre wide chandelier with 6 spheres. We modify the design and then run to the factory to work out how can we produce it.

Besides working on your own projects you collaborate quite a lot.

Yes, we love sharing a vision with architects and interior designers. Sometimes our task is to come up with new products for their projects and other times we are asked to customise our own products. This is another area where being our own manufacturer is a great advantage.

As we are responsible for every part of the project, we can deliver not just a design that perfectly fits their space but also products that perfectly fit their budgets.
